Gary Larson created the term Thagomizer in 1982.
In 1993, paleontologist Ken Carpenter was the first to use the term in a scientific context.
It is now widely accepted and used to describe the spikes on a stegosaur's tail.

Here you’ll find reports from protests in Birmingham, Montgomery, Oxford and Selma. Our staff — @annabjournalist.bsky.social, @rchapoco.bsky.social, @andreadotweb.bsky.social — and freelancers Olivia McMurrey and Andi Rice really did a phenomenal job, and I’m grateful for their work today.
Thousands of people attended 'No Kings' demonstrations on Saturday in protest of the policies of President Donald Trump. Participants criticized everything from Trump's consolidation of power to his immigration policies to congressional apathy toward him. Here are reports from four protests.

Food pantries see increase in clients due to lack of SNAP benefits funding from government shutdown
If the government reopens before the end of the month, Iowans may get some of there food stamps, but not the usual full amount.
But if it stays shut down, people won’t get any SNAP benefits at all.
